For this jewellery trader we created new product profiles for each of their brands. We produced manuals capturing the brand identity together with an outline for future product design, materials, communication and sales tools. The aim was to present the company with an aspirational target to keep them ahead of the curve in terms of consumer jewellery trends and desires.
Via Milano New Dutch Design Foundation presents its yearly exhibition at the Rai, Amsterdam. Each year a specialised committee selects the best designs presented in Milan earlier in the year. For two consecutive years we were responsible for the design of the exhibition, flyers and posters.
We were commissioned by the Turkish export association to educate the industry, through trend seminars and workshops, about textile innovations, consumer insights and trends in fashion and design. For several years we were invited to lecture on trends in textiles and fashion, backed up with consumer insights and developments in the areas of technology and sustainability. We did this by means of dynamic presentations that integrated movies, animations, garments, and textiles and were aimed at the various target groups and the world that surrounded them. We organised lively and informal workshops where people had the opportunity to see textile innovations, innovative garment samples and mood and colour previews. Attendees could photograph all the materials shown, cut colour swatches and take fabric samples.
We love to make books: to reflect on design, what it can do and on what really matters. We invite the best designers, illustrators, journalists and fellow trend analysts to capture an essence or just to trigger thoughts and question possibilities and then we create cutting-edge artwork by playing with printers, papers, inks, cuts and the craft of bookbinding.
We created eight seasonal concept stores, placed in a row – all with a cutting edge, festival spirit – right at the heart of the exhibition. We curated, in collaboration with Uniquole, a display of what the new breed of Dutch designers had to offer. We found artful ways to showcase fashion garments, accessories and design items created by both established and emerging designers in a versatile and stimulating environment.
